DESCRIPTION
The PTH04T230/231W is a high-performance, 6-A rated, non-isolated power module. This regulator represents
the 2nd generation of the PTH series of power modules which include a reduced footprint and improved features.
The PTH04T231W is optimized to be used in applications requiring all ceramic capacitors.
Operating from an input voltage range of 2.2 V to 5.5 V, the PTH04T230/231W requires a single resistor to set
the output voltage to any value over the range, 0.69 V to 3.6 V. The wide input voltage range makes the
PTH04T230/231W particularly suitable for advanced computing and server applications that use a 2.5-V, 3.3-V or
5-V intermediate bus architecture.
The module incorporates a comprehensive list of features. Output over-current and over-temperature shutdown
protects against most load faults. A differential remote sense ensures tight load regulation. An adjustable
under-voltage lockout allows the turn-on voltage threshold to be customized. Auto-Track™ sequencing is a
popular feature that greatly simplifies the simultaneous power-up and power-down of multiple modules in a
power system.
The PTH04T230/231W includes new patent pending technologies, TurboTrans™ and SmartSync. The
TurboTrans feature optimizes the transient response of the regulator while simultaneously reducing the quantity
of external output capacitors required to meet a target voltage deviation specification. Additionally, for a target
output capacitor bank, TurboTrans can be used to significantly improve the regulators transient response by
reducing the peak voltage deviation. SmartSync allows for switching frequency synchronization of multiple
modules, thus simplifying EMI noise suppression tasks and reduces input capacitor RMS current requirements.
Double-sided surface mount construction provides a low profile and compact footprint. Package options include
both through-hole and surface mount configurations that are lead (Pb) - free and RoHS compatible.

TERMINAL FUNCTIONS
TERMINAL
DESCRIPTION
NAME NO.
VI 2 The positive input voltage power node to the module, which is referenced to common GND.
VO 4 The regulated positive power output with respect to the GND.
This is the common ground connection for the VI and VO power connections. It is also the 0 Vdc reference for
GND 3
the control inputs.
The Inhibit pin is an open-collector/drain, negative logic input that is referenced to GND. Applying a low level
ground signal to this input disables the module’s output and turns off the output voltage. When the Inhibit control
is active, the input current drawn by the regulator is significantly reduced. If the Inhibit pin is left open-circuit, the
Inhibit and module produces an output whenever a valid input source is applied.
10
UVLO (1)
This pin is also used for input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) programming. Connecting a resistor from this pin to
GND (pin 3) allows the ON threshold of the UVLO to be adjusted higher than the default value. For more
information, see the Application Information section.
A 0.05 W 1% resistor must be directly connected between this pin and pin 6 (– Sense) to set the output voltage
to a value higher than 0.69 V. The temperature stability of the resistor should be 100 ppm/°C (or better). The
VO Adjust 7 setpoint range for the output voltage is from 0.69 V to 3.6 V. If left open circuit, the output voltage defaults to its
lowest value. For further information, on output voltage adjustment see the related application note.
The specification table gives the preferred resistor values for a number of standard output voltages.
The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the load.
+ Sense 5
For optimal voltage accuracy, +Sense must be connected to VO, close to the load.
The sense input allows the regulation circuit to compensate for voltage drop between the module and the load.
– Sense 6 For optimal voltage accuracy, –Sense must be connected to GND (pin 3), very close to the module (within 10
cm).
This is an analog control input that enables the output voltage to follow an external voltage. This pin becomes
active typically 20 ms after the input voltage has been applied, and allows direct control of the output voltage
from 0 V up to the nominal set-point voltage. Within this range the module's output voltage follows the voltage at
Track 9
the Track pin on a volt-for-volt basis. When the control voltage is raised above this range, the module regulates
at its set-point voltage. The feature allows the output voltage to rise simultaneously with other modules powered
from the same input bus. If unused, this input should be connected to VI.
NOTE: Due to the undervoltage lockout feature, the output of the module cannot follow its own input voltage
during power up. For more information, see the related application note.
This input pin adjusts the transient response of the regulator. To activate the TurboTrans feature, a 1%, 0.05 W
resistor must be connected between this pin and pin 5 (+Sense) very close to the module. For a given value of
output capacitance, a reduction in peak output voltage deviation is achieved by using this feature. If unused, this
TurboTrans™ 8
pin must be left open-circuit. The resistance requirement can be selected from the TurboTrans resistor table in
the Application Information section. External capacitance must never be connected to this pin unless the
TurboTrans resistor is a short, 0Ω.
This input pin sychronizes the switching frequency of the module to an external clock frequency. The SmartSync
feature can be used to sychronize the switching fequency of multiple PTH04T230/231W modules, aiding EMI
SmartSync 1
noise suppression efforts. If unused, this pin should be connected to GND (pin 3). For more information, please
review the Application Information section.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE

The VO Adjust control (pin 7) sets the output voltage of the PTH04T230/231W. The adjustment range of the
PTH04T230/231W is 0.69V to 3.6V. The adjustment method requires the addition of a single external resistor,
RSET, that must be connected directly between the VO Adjust and the –Sense pins. Table 1 gives the standard
value of the external resistor for a number of standard voltages, along with the actual output voltage that this
resistance value provides.
For other output voltages, the value of the required resistor can either be calculated using the following formula,
or simply selected from the range of values given in Table 2. Figure 9 shows the placement of the required
resistor.

CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PTH04T230/231W POWER MODULE
Capacitor Technologies
Electrolytic Capacitors
When using electrolytic capacitors, high-quality, computer-grade electrolytic capacitors are recommended.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide adequate decoupling over the frequency range of 2 kHz to 150 kHz,
and are suitable when ambient temperatures are above -20°C. For operation below -20°C, tantalum,
ceramic, or OS-CON type capacitors are required.
Ceramic Capacitors
The performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is less effective above 150 kHz. Multilayer ceramic
capacitors have a low ESR and a resonant frequency higher than the bandwidth of the regulator. They can
be used to reduce the reflected ripple current at the input as well as improve the transient response of the
output.
Tantalum, Polymer-Tantalum Capacitors
Tantalum type capacitors may only used on the output bus, and are recommended for applications where the
ambient operating temperature is less than 0°C. The AVX TPS series and Kemet capacitor series are
suggested over many other tantalum types due to their lower ESR, higher rated surge, power dissipation,
and ripple current capability. Tantalum capacitors that have no stated ESR or surge current rating are not
recommended for power applications.
Input Capacitor (Required)

The PTH04T231W requires a minimum input capacitance of 300µF of ceramic type.
The PTH04T230W requires a minimum input capacitance of 330µF. The ripple current rating of the electrolytic
capacitor must be at least 400mArms. An optional 22-µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended to reduce
the RMS ripple current.
Input Capacitor Information

The size and value of the input capacitor is determined by the converter’s transient performance capability. This
minimum value assumes that the converter is supplied with a responsive, low-inductance input source. This
source should have ample capacitive decoupling, and be distributed to the converter via PCB power and ground
planes.
Ceramic capacitors should be located as close as possible to the module's input pins, within 0.5 inch (1,3 cm).
Adding ceramic capacitance is necessary to reduce the high-frequency ripple voltage at the module's input. This
reduces the magnitude of the ripple current through the electroytic capacitor, as well as the amount of ripple
current reflected back to the input source. Additional ceramic capacitors can be added to further reduce the RMS
ripple current requirement for the electrolytic capacitor.
Increasing the minimum input capacitance to 680-µF is recommended for high-performance applications, or
wherever the input source performance is degraded.
The main considerations when selecting input capacitors are the RMS ripple current rating, temperature stability,
and maintaining less than 100 mΩ of equivalent series resistance (ESR).
Regular tantalum capacitors are not recommended for the input bus. These capacitors require a recommended
minimum voltage rating of 2 × (maximum dc voltage + ac ripple). This is standard practice to ensure reliability.
No tantalum capacitors were found to have voltage ratings sufficient to meet this requirement.
When the operating temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these
applications, OS-CON, poly-aluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered.

Output Capacitor (Required)

The PTH04T231W requires a minimum output capacitance of 300µF of ceramic type.
The PTH04T230W requires a minimum 100µF of ceramic and 150 F of non-ceramic output capacitance.
Additional non-ceramic, low-ESR capacitance is recommended for improved performance. See data sheet for
maximum capacitance limits.
The required capacitance above the minimum is determined by actual transient deviation requirements. See the
TurboTrans Technology application section within this document for specific capacitance selection.
Output Capacitor Information

When selecting output capacitors, the main considerations are capacitor type, temperature stability, and ESR.
When using the TurboTrans feature, the capacitance X ESR product should also be considered (see the
following section).
Ceramic output capacitors added for high-frequency bypassing should be located as close as possible to the
load to be effective. Ceramic capacitor values below 10µF should not be included when calculating the total
output capacitance value.
When the operating temperature is below 0°C, the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases. For these
applications, OS-CON, poly-aluminum, and polymer-tantalum types should be considered.
TurboTrans Output Capacitance

TurboTrans allows the designer to optimize the output capacitance according to the system transient design
requirement. High quality, ultra-low ESR capacitors are required to maximize TurboTrans effectiveness. When
using TurboTrans, the capacitor's capacitance (µF) × ESR (mΩ) product determines its capacitor type; Type A,
B, or C. These three types are defined as follows:
Type A = (100 ≤ capacitance × ESR ≤ 1000) (e.g. ceramic)
Type B = (1000 < capacitance × ESR ≤ 5000) (e.g. polymer-tantalum)
Type C = (5000 < capacitance × ESR ≤ 10,000) (e.g. OS-CON)
When using more than one type of output capacitor, select the capacitor type that makes up the majority of the
total output capacitance. When calculating the C × ESR product, use the maximum ESR value from the capacitor
manufacturer's data sheet.
The PTH04T231W should be used when only Type A (ceramic) capacitors are used on the output.
Working Examples:
A capacitor with a capacitance of 330µF and an ESR of 5mΩ, has a C×ESR product of 1650µFxmΩ (330µF ×
5mΩ). This is a Type B capacitor.
A capacitor with a capacitance of 1000µF and an ESR of 8mΩ, has a C×ESR product of 8000µFxmΩ (1000µF ×
8mΩ). This is a Type C capacitor.
See the TurboTrans Technology application section within this document for specific capacitance selection.
Table 3 includes a preferred list of capacitors by type and vendor. See the Output Bus / TurboTrans column.
Non-TurboTrans Output Capacitance

If the TurboTrans feature is not used, minimum ESR and maximum capacitor limits must be followed. System
stability may be effected and increased output capacitance may be required without TurboTrans.
When using the PTH04T230W without the TurboTrans feature, observe the minimum ESR of the entire output
capacitor bank. The minimum ESR limit of the output capacitor bank is 7mΩ. A list of preferred low-ESR type
capacitors, are identified in Table 3.
When using the PTH04T231W without the TurboTrans feature, the maximum amount of capacitance is 3000µF
of ceramic type. Large amounts of capacitance may reduce system stability.
Utilizing the TurboTrans feature improves system stability, improves transient response, and reduces the
amount of output capacitance required to meet system transient design requirements.

Designing for Fast Load Transients

The transient response of the dc/dc converter has been characterized using a load transient with a di/dt of
2.5A/µs. The typical voltage deviation for this load transient is given in the Electrical Characteristics table using
the minimum required value of output capacitance. As the di/dt of a transient is increased, the response of a
converter’s regulation circuit ultimately depends on its output capacitor decoupling network. This is an inherent
limitation with any dc/dc converter once the speed of the transient exceeds its bandwidth capability.
If the target application specifies a higher di/dt or lower voltage deviation, the requirement can only be met with
additional low ESR ceramic capacitor decoupling. Generally, with load steps greater than 100A/µs, adding
multiple 10-µF ceramic capacitors plus 10×1µF, and numerous high frequency ceramics (≤0.1µF) is all that is
required to soften the transient higher frequency edges. The PCB location of these capacitors in relation to the
load is critical. DSP, FPGA and ASIC vendors identify types, location and amount of capacitance required for
optimum performance. Low impedance buses, unbroken PCB copper planes, and components located as close
as possible to the high frequency devices are essential for optimizing transient performance.

TURBOTRANS
TurboTrans™ Technology
TurboTrans technology is a feature introduced in the T2 generation of the PTH/PTV family of power modules.
TurboTrans optimizes the transient response of the regulator with added external capacitance using a single
external resistor. Benefits of this technology include reduced output capacitance, minimized output voltage
deviation following a load transient, and enhanced stability when using ultra-low ESR output capacitors. The
amount of output capacitance required to meet a target output voltage deviation is reduced with TurboTrans
activated. Likewise, for a given amount of output capacitance, with TurboTrans engaged, the amplitude of the
voltage deviation following a load transient is reduced. Applications requiring tight transient voltage tolerances
and minimized capacitor footprint area benefits greatly from this technology.
TurboTrans™ Selection
Using TurboTrans requires connecting a resistor, RTT, between the +Sense pin (pin5) and the TurboTrans pin
(pin8). The value of the resistor directly corresponds to the amount of output capacitance required. All T2
products require a minimum value of output capacitance whether or not TurboTrans is used. For the
PTH04T230W, the minimum required capacitance is 200µF ceramic. When using TurboTrans, capacitors with a
capacitance × ESR product below 10,000 µF×mΩ are required. (Multiply the capacitance (in µF) by the ESR (in
mΩ) to determine the capacitance × ESR product.) See the Capacitor Selection section of the datasheet for a
variety of capacitors that meet this criteria.
Figure 10 shows the amount of output capacitance required to meet a desired transient voltage deviation with
and without TurboTrans for several capacitor types; TypeA (e.g. ceramic), TypeB (e.g. polymer-tantalum), and
TypeC (e.g. OS-CON). To calculate the proper value of RTT, first determine the required transient voltage
deviation limits and magnitude of the transient load step. Next, determine what type of output capacitors is used.
(If more than one type of output capacitor is used, select the capacitor type that makes up the majority of the
total output capacitance). Knowing this information, use the chart in Figure 10 that corresponds to the capacitor
type selected. To use the chart, begin by dividing the maximum voltage deviation limit (in mV) by the magnitude
of the load step (in Amps). This gives a mV/A value. Find this value on the Y-axis of the appropriate chart. Read
across the graph to the 'With TurboTrans' plot. From this point, read down to the X-axis which lists the minimum
required capacitance, CO, to meet that transient voltage deviation. The required RTT resistor value can then be
calculated using the equation or selected from the TurboTrans table. The TurboTrans tables include both the
required output capacitance and the corresponding RTT values to meet several values of transient voltage
deviation for 25%(1.5A), 50%(3A), and 75%(4.5A) output load steps.
The chart can also be used to determine the achievable transient voltage deviation for a given amount of output
capacitance. Selecting the amount of output capacitance along the X-axis, reading up to the 'With TurboTrans'
curve, and then over to the Y-axis, gives the transient voltage deviation limit for that value of output capacitance.
The required RTT resistor value can be calculated using the equation or selected from the TurboTrans table.
As an example, consider a 5-V application requiring a 45mV deviation during a 3-A, 50% load transient. A
majority of 330µF, 10mΩ ouput capacitors are used. Use the Type B capacitor chart, Figure 11. Dividing 45mV
by 3A gives 15mV/A transient voltage deviation per amp of transient load step. Select 15mV/A on the Y-axis and
read across to the 'With TurboTrans' plot. Following this point down to the X-axis gives us a minimum required
output capacitance of approximately 820µF. The required RTT resistor value for 820µF can then be calculated or
selected from Table 5. The required RTT resistor is approximately 6.19kΩ.
To see the benefit of TurboTrans, follow the 15mV/A marking across to the 'Without TurboTrans' plot. Following
that point down shows that you would need a minimum of 2700µF of output capacitance to meet the same
transient deviation limit. This is the benefit of TurboTrans. A typical TurboTrans schematic is shown in Figure 16.

RTT Resistor Selection

The TurboTrans resistor value, RTT can be determined from the TurboTrans programming equation:
1 * ǒCO ń1500Ǔ
R TT + 40 kW
ǒCO ń300Ǔ * 1
(2)
Where CO is the total output capacitance in µF. CO values greater than or equal to 1500 µF require RTT to be
a short, 0 Ω.
To ensure stability, a minimum amount of output capacitance is required for a given RTT resistor value. The
value of RTT must be calculated using the minimum required output capacitance determined from the
capacitor transient response charts above.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)

The PTH04T230/231W power modules incorporate an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The UVLO feature
prevents the operation of the module until there is sufficient input voltage to produce a valid output voltage. This
enables the module to provide a clean, monotonic power-up for the load circuit, and also limits the magnitude of
current drawn from the regulator’s input source during the power-up sequence.
The UVLO characteristic is defined by the ON threshold (VTHD) voltage. Below the ON threshold, the Inhibit
control is overridden, and the module does not produce an output. The hysteresis voltage, which is the difference
between the ON and OFF threshold voltages, is set at 500 mV. The hysteresis prevents start-up oscillations,
which can occur if the input voltage droops slightly when the module begins drawing current from the input
source.
The UVLO feature of the PTH04T230/231W module allows for limited adjustment of the ON threshold voltage.
The adjustment is made via the Inhbit/UVLO Prog control pin (pin 10) using a single resistor (see figure below).
When pin 10 is left open circuit, the ON threshold voltage is internally set to its default value, which is 1.95 volts.
The ON threshold might need to be raised if the module is powered from a tightly regulated 5-V bus. Adjusting
the threshold prevents the module from operating if the input bus fails to completely rise to its specified
regulation voltage.
Equation 5 determines the value of RUVLO required to adjust VTHD to a new value. The default value is 1.95 V,
and it may only be adjusted to a higher value.

Soft-Start Power Up
The Auto-Track feature allows the power-up of multiple PTH/PTV modules to be directly controlled from the
Track pin. However in a stand-alone configuration, or when the Auto-Track feature is not being used, the Track
pin should be directly connected to the input voltage, VI (see Figure 19).

Figure 19. Defeating the Auto-Track Function Figure 20. Power-Up Waveform
When the Track pin is connected to the input voltage the Auto-Track function is permanently disengaged. This
allows the module to power up entirely under the control of its internal soft-start circuitry. When power up is
under soft-start control, the output voltage rises to the set-point at a quicker and more linear rate. From the
moment a valid input voltage is applied, the soft-start control introduces a short time delay (typically 2ms–10ms)
before allowing the output voltage to rise. The output then progressively rises to the module’s setpoint voltage.
Figure 20 shows the soft-start power-up characteristic of the PTH04T230/231W operating from a 5-V input bus
and configured for a 1.8-V output. The waveforms were measured with a 6-A constant current load and the
Auto-Track feature disabled. The initial rise in input current when the input voltage first starts to rise is the charge
current drawn by the input capacitors. Power-up is complete within 20 ms.
Remote Sense
Differential remote sense improves the load regulation performance of the module by allowing it to compensate
for any IR voltage drop between its output and the load in either the positive or return path. An IR drop is caused
by the output current flowing through the small amount of pin and trace resistance. Connecting the +Sense (pin
5) and –Sense (pin 6) pins to the respective positive and ground reference of the load terminals improves the
load regulation of the output voltage at the connection points.
With the sense pins connected at the load, the difference between the voltage measured directly between the VO
and GND pins, and that measured at the Sense pins, is the amount of IR drop being compensated by the
regulator. This should be limited to a maximum of 300mV.
If the remote sense feature is not used at the load, connect the +Sense pin to VO (pin4) and connect the –Sense
pin to the module GND (pin 3).
The remote sense feature is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear or frequency
dependent components that may be placed in series with the converter output. Examples include OR-ing
diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When these components are enclosed by the remote sense
connection they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop, which can adversely affect the
stability of the regulator.

Output On/Off Inhibit

For applications requiring output voltage on/off control, the PTH04T230/231W incorporates an output Inhibit
control pin. The inhibit feature can be used wherever there is a requirement for the output voltage from the
regulator to be turned off.
The power modules function normally when the Inhibit pin is left open-circuit, providing a regulated output
whenever a valid source voltage is connected to VI with respect to GND.
Figure 21 shows the typical application of the inhibit function. Note the discrete transistor (Q1). The Inhibit input
has its own internal pull-up. An external pull-up should never be connected to the inhibit pin. The input is not
compatible with TTL logic devices. An open-collector (or open-drain) discrete transistor is recommended for
control.

Turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the Inhibit control pin and disables the output of the module. If Q1 is then
turned off, the module executes a soft-start power-up sequence. A regulated output voltage is produced within 40
ms. Figure 22 shows the typical rise in both the output voltage and input current, following the turn-off of Q1. The
turn off of Q1 corresponds to the rise in the waveform, VINH. The waveforms were measured with a 3-A constant
current load.
Overcurrent Protection
For protection against load faults, all modules incorporate output overcurrent protection. Applying a load that
exceeds the regulator's overcurrent threshold causes the regulated output to shut down. Following shutdown, a
module periodically attempts to recover by initiating a soft-start power-up. This is described as a hiccup mode of
operation, whereby the module continues in a cycle of successive shutdown and power up until the load fault is
removed. During this period, the average current flowing into the fault is significantly reduced. Once the fault is
removed, the module automatically recovers and returns to normal operation.

Overtemperature Protection (OTP)

A thermal shutdown mechanism protects the module’s internal circuitry against excessively high temperatures. A
rise in the internal temperature may be the result of a drop in airflow, or a high ambient temperature. If the
internal temperature exceeds the OTP threshold, the module’s Inhibit control is internally pulled low. This turns
the output off. The output voltage drops as the external output capacitors are discharged by the load circuit. The
recovery is automatic, and begins with a soft-start power up. It occurs when the sensed temperature decreases
by about 10°C below the trip point.
The overtemperature protection is a last resort mechanism to prevent thermal stress to the regulator.
Operation at or close to the thermal shutdown temperature is not recommended and reduces the long-term
reliability of the module. Always operate the regulator within the specified safe operating area (SOA) limits for
the worst-case conditions of ambient temperature and airflow.
Smart Sync
Smart Sync is a feature that allows multiple power modules to be synchronized to a common frequency. Driving
the Smart Sync pins with an external oscillator set to the desired frequency, synchronizes all connected modules
to the selected frequency. The synchronization frequency can be higher or lower than the nominal switching
frequency of the modules within the range of 240 kHz to 400 kHz (see Electrical Specifications table for
frequency limits). Synchronizing modules powered from the same bus eliminates beat frequencies reflected back
to the input supply, and also reduces EMI filtering requirements. These are the benefits of Smart Sync. Power
modules can also be synchronized out of phase to minimize source current loading and minimize input
capacitance requirements. Figure 23 shows a standard circuit with two modules syncronized 180° out of phase
using a D flip-flop.

Auto-Track™ Function
The Auto-Track function is unique to the PTH/PTV family, and is available with all POLA products. Auto-Track
was designed to simplify the amount of circuitry required to make the output voltage from each module power up
and power down in sequence. The sequencing of two or more supply voltages during power up is a common
requirement for complex mixed-signal applications that use dual-voltage VLSI ICs such as the TMS320™ DSP
family, microprocessors, and ASICs.
How Auto-Track™ Works

Auto-Track works by forcing the module output voltage to follow a voltage presented at the Track control pin (1).
This control range is limited to between 0 V and the module set-point voltage. Once the track-pin voltage is
raised above the set-point voltage, the module output remains at its set-point (2). As an example, if the Track pin
of a 2.5-V regulator is at 1 V, the regulated output is 1 V. If the voltage at the Track pin rises to 3 V, the regulated
output does not go higher than 2.5 V.
When under Auto-Track control, the regulated output from the module follows the voltage at its Track pin on a
volt-for-volt basis. By connecting the Track pin of a number of these modules together, the output voltages follow
a common signal during power up and power down. The control signal can be an externally generated master
ramp waveform, or the output voltage from another power supply circuit (3). For convenience, the Track input
incorporates an internal RC-charge circuit. This operates off the module input voltage to produce a suitable rising
waveform at power up.
Typical Application
The basic implementation of Auto-Track allows for simultaneous voltage sequencing of a number of Auto-Track
compliant modules. Connecting the Track inputs of two or more modules forces their track input to follow the
same collective RC-ramp waveform, and allows their power-up sequence to be coordinated from a common
Track control signal. This can be an open-collector (or open-drain) device, such as a power-up reset voltage
supervisor IC. See U3 in Figure 24.
To coordinate a power-up sequence, the Track control must first be pulled to ground potential. This should be
done at or before input power is applied to the modules. The ground signal should be maintained for at least
20 ms after input power has been applied. This brief period gives the modules time to complete their internal
soft-start initialization (4), enabling them to produce an output voltage. A low-cost supply voltage supervisor IC,
that includes a built-in time delay, is an ideal component for automatically controlling the Track inputs at power
up.
Figure 24 shows how a TPS3808 supply voltage supervisor IC (U3) can be used to coordinate the sequenced
power up of 5-V PTH modules. The output of the TPS3808 supervisor becomes active above an input voltage of
0.8 V, enabling it to assert a ground signal to the common track control well before the input voltage has reached
the module's undervoltage lockout threshold. The ground signal is maintained until approximately 27ms after the
input voltage has risen above U3's voltage threshold, which is 4.65V. The 27-ms time period is controlled by the
capacitor C3. The value of 4700pF provides sufficient time delay for the modules to complete their internal
soft-start initialization. The output voltage of each module remains at zero until the track control voltage is
allowed to rise. When U3 removes the ground signal, the track control voltage automatically rises. This causes
the output voltage of each module to rise simultaneously with the other modules, until each reaches its
respective set-point voltage.
Figure 25 shows the output voltage waveforms after input voltage is applied to the circuit. The waveforms, VO1
and VO2, represent the output voltages from the two power modules, U1 (3.3 V) and U2 (1.8 V), respectively.
VTRK, VO1, and VO2 are shown rising together to produce the desired simultaneous power-up characteristic.
The same circuit also provides a power-down sequence. When the input voltage falls below U3's voltage
threshold, the ground signal is re-applied to the common track control. This pulls the track inputs to zero volts,
forcing the output of each module to follow, as shown in Figure 26. Power down is normally complete before the
input voltage has fallen below the modules' undervoltage lockout. This is an important constraint. Once the
modules recognize that an input voltage is no longer present, their outputs can no longer follow the voltage
applied at their track input. During a power-down sequence, the fall in the output voltage from the modules is
limited by the Auto-Track slew rate capability.

Notes on Use of Auto-Track™

1. The Track pin voltage must be allowed to rise above the module set-point voltage before the module
regulates at its adjusted set-point voltage.
2. The Auto-Track function tracks almost any voltage ramp during power up, and is compatible with ramp
speeds of up to 1 V/ms.
3. The absolute maximum voltage that may be applied to the Track pin is the input voltage VI.
4. The module cannot follow a voltage at its track control input until it has completed its soft-start initialization.
This takes about 20 ms from the time that a valid voltage has been applied to its input. During this period, it
is recommended that the Track pin be held at ground potential.
5. The Auto-Track function is disabled by connecting the Track pin to the input voltage (VI). When Auto-Track is
disabled, the output voltage rises at a quicker and more linear rate after input power has been applied.

Prebias Startup Capability

A prebias startup condition occurs as a result of an external voltage being present at the output of a power
module prior to its output becoming active. This often occurs in complex digital systems when current from
another power source is backfed through a dual-supply logic component, such as an FPGA or ASIC. Another
path might be via clamp diodes as part of a dual-supply power-up sequencing arrangement. A prebias can cause
problems with power modules that incorporate synchronous rectifiers. This is because under most operating
conditions, these types of modules can sink as well as source output current.
The PTH family of power modules incorporate synchronous rectifiers, but does not sink current during startup(1),
or whenever the Inhibit pin is held low. However, to ensure satisfactory operation of this function, certain
conditions must be maintained(2). Figure 27 shows an application demonstrating the prebias startup capability.
The startup waveforms are shown in Figure 28. Note that the output current (IO) is negligible until the output
voltage rises above the voltage backfed through the intrinsic diodes.
The prebias start-up feature is not compatible with Auto-Track. When the module is under Auto-Track control, it
sinks current if the output voltage is below that of a back-feeding source. To ensure a pre-bias hold-off one of
two approaches must be followed when input power is applied to the module. The Auto-Track function must
either be disabled(3), or the module’s output held off (for at least 50 ms) using the Inhibit pin. Either approach
ensures that the Track pin voltage is above the set-point voltage at start up.
1. Startup includes the short delay (approximately 10 ms) prior to the output voltage rising, followed by the rise
of the output voltage under the module’s internal soft-start control. Startup is complete when the output
voltage has risen to either the set-point voltage or the voltage at the Track pin, whichever is lowest.
2. To ensure that the regulator does not sink current when power is first applied (even with a ground signal
applied to the Inhibit control pin), the input voltage must always be greater than the output voltage throughout
the power-up and power-down sequence.
3. The Auto-Track function can be disabled at power up by immediately applying a voltage to the module’s
Track pin that is greater than its set-point voltage. This can be easily accomplished by connecting the Track
pin to VI.

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
